A suspected drug dealer alleges that the Ferguson, Mo., policeman who killed Michael Brown used excessive force against him last year in an arrest that earned him commendation from the police department, the man’s attorney told Yahoo News.
Officer Darren Wilson arrested Christopher Brooks on Feb. 28, 2013, after catching him and another man allegedly packaging marijuana to sell while sitting in a car in Brooks’ grandmother’s driveway.
Yahoo News obtained the full police report from Brooks’ lawyer, Nick Zotos, after the Ferguson department refused to release an un-redacted version.
According to the report, the men exited the car but Brooks wouldn’t give up his keys so the officer could search the locked PT Cruiser.
“Brooks slapped my hand away,” Wilson wrote. “Brooks was consistently yelling for his cousin, who was now on the front porch, to help him and asking him to ‘get me.’ ”
The officer took control of Brooks’ wrist and arm, but he “was resisting all control and refused to follow all commands given,” Wilson wrote. The officer called for backup because he said the situation was “growing increasing hostile.”(continued)

Or maybe suspected drug dealer Christopher Brooks is a personal friend of Yahoo 'news reporter' Jason Sickles' mother.
Doesn’t sound like excessive force to me, although there is that little bit about demanding the keys to search the car, when he didn’t have a right to force that. I thought that LEOs couldn’t just search your car without jumping through some hoops, I can’t remember what.
Normally can’t search except incident to arrest. Not clear if the guy was under arrest at the time. There are other instances when it is allowed but details are not in the article to make a judgement.
Maybe the crips and bloods can trash Wilson. The New York Times is ready, gullible and vile.

Thank you for pinging me. I appreciate it.
Was that the Blackstone Rangers scam?
I don’t think so, it’s still going on, Rahm just allocated more money for this scam, so it hasn’t been officially identified as a scam yet. Already one of the revruns or alder creatures can’t account for a million or so.
So they put forth a drug dealer.What’s the matter,couldn’t they find a used car salesman to make the accusation?
